| Abstract: | Recently, occupational researchers have emphasized the need to examine both work and leisure activities as complementary components for total individual self-fulfillment. This research examined the complementary relationships between vocational and avocational pursuits in a study of a single occupation. Since the occupation was service and community based and emphasized social responsibility and relating to others, these were the primary vocational constructs examined. These variables were related to leisure variables and the resulting relationships were examined. A profile relating vocational and avocational aspects for a particular occupation was postulated. |
